Software for designing injection molds

0
M
1

I’m new to the world of injection mold design and have been tasked with creating molds for a series of consumer electronics enclosures. I have experience with Autodesk Inventor, but I’m looking for a software solution that simplifies the mold design process, ideally able to automatically determine the positions of the ejection pins and design the entire mold base based on the part’s geometry. What is the most suitable software for these needs?

Solved by Giuseppe Pestrin

Good morning dear Matteo, unfortunately Xometry Europe does not design molds and we cannot give such advice. Many manufacturers work with Siemens NX/Catia software and use them to design molds. Moldex 3D or Autodesk Mold Flow are widely used software for process simulations. I hope these suggestions prove useful to you
